Disklavier

I have tried in the past to obtain from Yamaha the official MIDI 
velocity to physical hammer velocity mapping for the Disklavier, but 
this table was considered "confidential proprietary information" and the 
engineering department in Japan refused to release it.  (Which makes 
little sense, since someone determined to get this information could 
simply measure it from a couple of Disklaviers in the field.  Wayne 
Stahnke came up with a pretty good approximation by ear, used for 
translating between SE/LX format and Disklavier-style MIDI velocities, 
but it's not based on physical measurements.)

Anyway, with such a table for the Disklavier and a similar table mapping 
MIDI velocities to simulated hammer velocities in the the piano 
synthesis software, one could theoretically get the mapping exactly right.
